Use this installation method for Dolby Digital, DTS or other digital surround processors:

Use the line-level input jack marked “LFE” for the Low- Frequency Effects channel.

Connect this jack to the LFE output or subwoofer output on your receiver or amplifier. Connect each speaker to the corresponding speaker terminals on your receiver or amplifier.

Make sure that you have configured your surround sound processor for “Sub- woofer On.” Also configure your receiver for 5.1-, 6.1-

or 7.1-channel operation as appropriate. The front left, front right, center and rear speakers should all be set to “Small.” If your receiver allows you to set the cross- over frequency between the subwoofer and the main speakers, select 100Hz or the setting that is the closest frequency below it.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC® (NON-DIGITAL) – LINE LEVEL

Use this installation method for Dolby Pro Logic applications (not Dolby Digital, DTS or other digital processing), where the receiver/processor is equipped with a subwoofer output, or a volumecontrolled preamp (line-) level output:

Use RCA-type interconnects to connect the line-level subwoofer outputs on your receiver or amplifier to the line-level inputs on the subwoofer. IMPORTANT: Do not use the LFE input on the subwoofer with Dolby

Pro Logic processors.

NOTE: If your receiver or amplifier has only one subwoofer output jack, then you will need to use a Y-connector (not included). Plug the male end of the Y-connector into your receiver or amplifier’s subwoofer output jack, and connect each of the two female ends to separate RCA-type
